EOD data can never be used for range and volume bars.

Depends on the format. Technically, EOD is a time. Daily data can never which is why the question was asked. Do you know for a fact that Kinetick only provides Daily format at EOD, or was this off the cuff?

Thank you for the info on the continuous & individual futures.

Did not want to be pathetic, just sarcastic.

Either NT developpers are amateurs or the underlying concept of the database is not simple enough. It is obvious that they have a bit lost the orientation.

The issue was with the Kinetick/IQFeed adapter code in requesting historical data from the servers. Has nothing do to with Session Manager, Caching, Database etc... This has been resolved for our next update.

Since there were several posts that had more to do with The Truth about NT rather than Kinetick specifically I moved them there.

This thread should concentrate on the data feed, not the platform.

Thank you for the clarification. From the point of a user, it is sometimes difficult to understand, what actually has caused the problem, whether is was the datafeed or the software. There are still specific problems with all types of data feeds under various circumstances. I just wanted to say that it is time to get things fixed. Maybe I got a bit sarcastic, because both waiting time and bugs add up.

My impatience is also due to the fact that NT 6.5. is unstable on my broker / data feed, and I do not want ot use it any more. NT 7 is already a huge improvement as it does not crash regularly on loading data. Kinetick feed loads smoothly and fast, and the problem I observed can probably be easily fixed.

There is no one more motivated than me to get things fixed, get things stable and push NinjaTrader 7 our the door into production. I do understand how frustrating it is from a user perspective but I assure you that we are doing everything we can in cooperation with issue reports from our users to get NT7 out the door.

I'm running NT 7.0.0.21, with a license, and have hooked into Kinetick. But it doesnt seem to fill my data. Is it last day only? Or does it do historical ticks, eg 20 or 30 days?

Have you paid for a live Kinetick feed?

No, I haven't paid for the Kinetick feed. Looks like the Kinetick free day is daily data only, no tick data.

Yes, EOD data is free. Intraday real-time data is billed.

But consider: I know about 20 different charting packages, and none of them has free quality EOD data for single month and continuous futures. The only ones I have found were VisualChart and ProRealTime, but those are ways inferior to NinjaTrader.

However, the free FOREX live feed from Gain will be stopped in 2 weeks time.

Is there any free viable alternative to Gain in using Ninja? Something with back data? MBT works with Ninja but no back data.
Any suggestions?
